Halloran a big spender

Even as City Councilman Dan Halloran (R-Whitestone) testified before a federal grand jury Monday about his claims that city Sanitation Department workers in northeast Queens engaged in a deliberate work slowdown in the aftermath of the Dec. 26 blizzard, he was still fighting the financial battles of his 2009 campaign.

The freshman legislator has not paid tens of thousands of dollars in debts owed for services rendered by at least three vendors — including two campaign consulting firms — during the hard-fought race, which ended 15 months ago, the two firms said Monday.

As of Tuesday, Halloran owed The Traz Group, of Marlton, N.J., more than $50,000, according to Ed Traz, the company’s president. Halloran owes Advantage Inc., of Arlington, Va., $10,688.45, according to the company’s vice president, Aris McMahon. Both consulting firms are preparing to sue Halloran, Traz said, though several other vendors said his campaign had settled debts with them in full.

when the (rino) bloomberg administration and local civic and d.o.e. activists conspired to convert the playground to sitting park, at P.S.159 Q in Bayside,they wasted the reported $3 million.

halloran was not a CM then.

the play space had been locked for many years prior,and for months after the so-called modernization. a waste of taxpayer dollars and an insult to the community teens and parents.

when Halloran was elected CM, he had the park/playspace opened during the day,seven days a week.

it appears that the left wing so-called n.y.c. journalists have begun a hit campaign on one of the few conservative representatives elected.

they can't demonize President G. Bush anymore. they seem to evade that we are now paying $2.63/gallon of gas, extremely high heating oil prices,high property taxes,and highest income tax in the U.S,while a community organizer in the White House is working towards a one term office.

the U.S.electorate rejected 63 liberal/democrats in 2010. the local dictatorship can not stand a checks and balance system of local government. ttheir tactics continue to be DEMONIZE...DEMONIZE...DEMONIZE...

"The difference between dishonest and honest graft: for dishonest graft one worked solely for one's own interests, while for honest graft one pursued the interests of one's party, one's state, and one's personal interests all together." - George Washington Plunkitt
